I am restarting this week. after losing a little over 30 pounds and then gaining some back after a long stall. Hoping to lose what I've gained back and at least another 30 beyond that! Looking forward to getting this first week behind me to get out of withdrawal - the headaches and itchiness and all.

Welcome back, Lighthouse. I was one of the group of "Augusters" from 2013 so it nice to have you back. Our group is pretty scarce.

You are not alone in facing some challenges - we all tackle them, big and small. Just coming back and hanging in is a strength for you. To me, we may lose battles but we never give up on the war!

I just finished day 1 and my scale shows a 2 lb drop this morning! This is the quick loss start I was hoping for. I have done nutrisystem and every other packaged food, prescribed meal plan, home delivery, HCG, WW.... Lost and regained, plus some, until I now have 80 lbs to lose. Very glad to find this forum!

Congrats on the new babies. We three are very much alike in that we have done IP before and then had babies, but isn't it exciting to know that we have this awesome program to follow and that we will be successful again! I look forward to chatting, sharing, encouraing, and laughing with you in the future.

I am so encouraged to see so many reboots back on this site. I do not see it as a failure in any way. I see people who have had success then maybe hit a bump or two but knew they could use this program and find success again. I want to encourage you all to achieve your goals and share your struggles and triumphs with us all. I look forward to sending out many mini cheerleaders to you all.

Newbie here, will weigh in my first time in the morning. My scales showed a 10 lb loss this morning! Hopefully the clinic scales are the same! third and fourth day was hard, but seems to be getting better now. I think this board will be very helpful too. Glad I found it!

tomorrow and I hope their scale shows you the big 10 but try not to be disappointed because I have found the scales can be drastically different. I know that whatever the scale says tomorrow you should feel very proud of yourself.

I can't wait until this week is over also. Today was day four, headache gone but very tired. Drinking tons of water and salt.

Hello all! I am a July Rebooter as well! Lost 30lbs in 2013 (Jan - March) and have gained 25 of it back. Started on Monday July 7th, so on day 5. Had the usual killer headache the first few days, but I'm past that now and feel great. Determined to make it work again, and then learn to MAINTAIN!

AeRose - I am almost exactly where you are at... starting at 154 with a goal of 130. We can do this together!!

Restart time! Lost 30lbs in 2013, time to do it again and keep it off!

I started IP on Tuesday, July 9th. My home scale has been a good friend so far! Nice weight loss. Some challenges coming up, especially as a newbie. I am going to an outdoor concert/ festival that of course runs through dinner. I won't drink alcohol, but worried about being hungry and letting that cause me to feel bad, tempt me to take a bit from my husbands food, etc. then 2 days later I am hosting my bunco group for dinner and games night. Still, I think I can make do by not providing any of my favorite nibble foods. Worried mostly about a 2 day trip to amusement parks, and hotel stay. Anyone have tips, especially for a real newbie?
